                        Thursday, March 16, 2006

  Mr. GERLACH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Officer Marc A. 
Reider for his thirty years of exemplary service to the citizens and 
businesses of Tredyffrin Township in Chester County, Pennsylvania. 
Officer Reider retired as a decorated officer on December 23, 2005 from 
the Tredyffrin Township Police Department.
  As an outstanding public servant, Officer Reider retired as one of 
the most highly trained officers in the field of accident 
reconstruction. In addition to his many honors, he also served on the 
Tredyffrin Township Police Department's Traffic Accident Review Board. 
While on this Board, he oversaw the agency's forensic mapping team 
where his leadership and attention to detail helped to recreate and 
solve difficult auto related cases. Officer Reider is highly regarded 
throughout Pennsylvania as an expert witness in vehicular accidents and 
also serves as a member of the American Board of Forensic Examiners.
  Officer Reider also takes the time to share his knowledge with 
younger members of the police force. He has held a Pennsylvania 
Municipal Police Certificate since 1983 and has had the distinct honor 
of serving as an expert instructor in traffic accident investigations 
for the Montgomery County Municipal Police Academy. Throughout his 
distinguished career, Officer Reider has worked tirelessly to make the 
Township, County, and Commonwealth a safer place. His dedication to 
service and professionalism will be greatly missed.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me today in honoring 
Officer Marc A. Reider for his many years of exceptional service and 
professional contributions to the Tredyffrin Township Police Department 
and community. I am honored to stand before you to congratulate and 
celebrate Officer Marc A. Reider on his many impressive 
accomplishments.
